A Drunken John Daly Just Can’t Be Torn From Hooters, Spends A Night In The Pokey

We’ve always felt that John Daly’s popularity stemmed from how much like the average Joe he was. He smokes, he’s a heavy drinker, he has family problems. Yet he still went out there week after week and competed on a high level with the world’s greatest golfers.
Another of Daly’s “regular guy” moments was revealed to the world yesterday. Who among us has never gotten so drunk at a North Carolina Hooters the cops needed to be called?
At least a Denny’s, right?

Police in Winston-Salem, N.C., revealed today that troubled golfer John Daly was found drunk outside a Hooters restaurant Sunday and taken into custody.

Officers went to the restaurant on a medical call and found Daly being worked on after losing consciousness, a police statement said. The statement said he had been “extremely intoxicated and uncooperative” and had been asked to leave the restaurant.

Police said he was detained for a 24-hour stay, until he was sober, and released.

Daly is a career alcoholic, so of course we wish him well and hope he gets healthy. Still, you gotta look in awe at a guy who, loaded up on beer, wings and the hint of eroticism that the Hooters Girls offer, just couldn’t bear to walk out. “Not yet,” we imagine he said, “I think that girl likes me.”
John, boychick, be real with yourself. Hooters Girls are paid to act like they like you. Sometimes, you just gotta wipe of the wing sauce and hit the sack.
